Hypocrisy: It demands trust while withholding basics like Exact FEMA overpayment amount (no figures provided). and Indictment status or charging documents. (not provided in the snippet). Verdict: Junk science adjacent; COVID cash slush funds were never about science, always about power grabs. Note: FEMA money landing in the wrong hands (like a drunk uncle at a wedding buffet) somehow still finds its way to the campaign trough.
